Burnt toast grinds my gears.

Smoked fish, I love fish but I don't like the taste or smell of it smoked

Lamb

I knew this would be near the top. Totally agree.

Meat
fish

Caff bacon. Feel sick when I pass some caffs.

And fondue or raclette. Like eating it (a bit) but it stinks!!

Tinned tuna. Can in bin immediately. All cutlery and crockery straight into very soapy sink.

Onions and garlic when they start to fry next door. Their kitchen vent is inexplicably sited in the subfloor under our living-room.

Anything offal related. I fail to believe humans actually consume ‘liver and onions’. Rank.

A couple of people have said this I think and I’ve never heard of it, apparently google hasn’t either. What is caff?

You know the dodgy café in the apprentice? Unsmoked cheap bacon. It reeks. Fried.

whereas I love smoked grilled bacon.

Oh! I’m so silly, I’ve definitely heard caf as short version of café. Thanks for clearing that up!

I agree, it reminds me of cafés full of builders smoking at 8 am. Strange childhood memory unlocked.

Cauliflower, it smells of fart

EwwSprouts · 19/11/2025 20:21

Hot milk.

Yellow fish.
Stinks house out for days.

catlovingdoctor · 19/11/2025 20:50

Fried eggs 🤮..I have to leave the house for the day if someone makes them at home!

Girliefriendlikespuppies · 19/11/2025 21:06

Fish

FrodoBiggins · 19/11/2025 21:07

Sausages.
I'm a vegetarian but that's not why I hate it, I love the smell of bacon and steak cooking

NormasArse · 19/11/2025 21:09

Burnt cheese. Fried stuff.

RaucousSwan · 19/11/2025 21:10

Bacon and duck
